Summer Pages

I chose to call this blog Summer Pages and not just Wake with the Sun, because I wanted to show some photos from our summer adventures away from the boat as well. Here are some photos for you.

Transitions

We spent our last day in Mallets Bay waiting out a rain storm, and then taking a ride along the bike path causeway in Colchester all the way out to S. Hero via ferry. On the way we met two friends we had seen earlier this week... Carol and Steve, and then Cliff. Carol and Steve were walking, and Cliff was biking with this friend. We then returned from S. Hero to Mallets Bay so that we could meet  friends Nancy and Lloyd for dinner.

What a lovely ending to our stay at Mallets Bay. Here are some photos of the bay, and some of the flowers and plants in my garden, awaiting my return.

Stormy Wednesday Morning

Well, it's almost our last day here in Mallets Bay for a while. I went out on my board this morning and took these photos. After I returned, the rain came, but we stayed dry in the houseboat.

Hope all is well. Click the photos for larger images.

Enjoy.

Somewhere over the rainbow, Mallets Bay

We had quite a day today. First we were visited by Michael, a former camp counselor of mine, and I made us some good ol' eggs, solar side up. Then we headed out to meet my friend Cliff who was going to meet us by Kayak. He had asked us to come to Marble island and we did. We set anchor and waited for him, and we were all sitting around and suddenly the wind came with huge rolling waves and knocked the house around and loosened the anchor and we started to drift toward a rock cliff. Luckily Claude was able to run the motor and bring us back to the marina and out of danger.

We were pretty shaken up by that experience. I have only a few photos of that. But also some pics of our excursion to a nearby cove at Coates Island yesterday. And our sunset cruise with my dear friend Myra.

And then photos of today's sunrise. And a stop in Winooski.

Finally of course there are photos of the rainbow, and the tiny house.

I am not sure why some of these photos appear with the wrong aspect ratio. As always, try clicking to see the bigger version.

Enjoy.
